TTC Sept 2023

[MrsNT]

Lets jump on this bus
Xx

@peonym thank you.
Yeah we are aiming for every other day for this fertile window but normally my boyfriend just asks when I'm ovulating and expects to just do it once and magically produce a baby! So fustrating.
Baby dust to you ✨

Hi everyone, we are in our first cycle of TTC our second baby. Patiently waiting for a smiley on clear blue, hoping it will be tomorrow. I am temping too, but not had an increase in my temp yet. Cycle day 13 tomorrow.

I did temping to conceive our first baby and fell pregnant the first time trying that, on cycle 3.

Hopefully I'll ovulate tomorrow!!

Good luck everyone xx

Hi everyone - I’m currently on DPO 6, but don’t ‘feel’ pregnant at all.
Last time (MC) I knew I was pregnant straight away and had twinges/cramps almost every day. Has anyone not had any symptoms at all? Hoping I’m still in with a chance! 🙏🏼

Hi everyone!

hope its ok to join, TTC #1 cycle 2. I’m 8dpo today and not many symptoms to note so plodding along slowly in this TWW (why do these 2 weeks feel like a month?? 😂)

using premom after my last cycle my iphone app was totally off tracking, caught my LH spike on cd23! So I’m off to a long cycle this month. BBT has been fairly nice and high the last 8 days apart from one small dip yesterday which hoping could have been implantation 🤞

sending baby dust to all of you this month ✨✨

Hey @Riverofhope you are definitely still in with a chance! 6DPO would be too early to truly feel any pregnancy symptoms and there are hoards of women (myself included!) who's first sign was a missed period or positive pregnancy test! Hang in there :)

Static smiley on the CB ovulation test this morning at CD 13 😊 Every other predictor and my iPhone health app have been quite a few days out compared to this even with years of data!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! Hard to hang onto hope after a while, this is cycle 10 so hoping something positive soon! 🙏🏼

I find thag too.

@Riverofhope from the many things I’ve read lots of people have no symptoms! I think we all just desperately try to spot things that will give us an answer. There’s still hope and it’s still early - positive thoughts coming your way!

@Riverofhope hiya this is my first time TTC and I’m currently 11DPO. I’ve had symptoms but I wouldn’t trust mine. It’s almost like I’m looking out for them and every little thing is driving me mad. At around 6 DPO I’ve had some tugging on my lower left. Then some abdominal cramps and most diarrhoea but it’s probably something I’ve eaten.

All the tests I’ve done were BFN as expected lol. Since IB can happen between 6-12DPO we still have hope. I was following a chat on Flo where someone got BFP a few days after their period but had no symptoms whatsoever.

baby dust to us all xx

@WishingUponARainbow I don't track ovulation so don't know exactly when it is, but this month we DTD every other day from cd 10 to 16. Every day can be a bit much, and it ends up feeling like a chore. Every 2nd day suits us better. Apparently sperm live for up to 3 days anyway so you're covered.

Think I'm due AF on Friday, so not long to wait. I don't want to test early. Hopefully keep myself busy and distracted until then.

Morning ladies, on the 24th august I had a blood test and it came back as normal levels as I was being monitored and tested since my molar pregnancy in April, and I have been since discharged under Sheffield. Imagine my surprise this morning when I get this at 10DPO.
Anyone have any experience with this as I'm freaking out, how can my levels increase from zero to this in 6 days, is it even possible?

We don't have the highest libido's in the world but when it comes to the fertile window I'd do it every day if possible!! My boyfriend on the other hand works long hours commuting etc so he's always 'so tired' and it's a real battle.
I'm trying not to track ovulation too much this month so that when the other half asks when I'm ovulating I can tell him I don't know so we better cover every other day just in case 🤣 seems to be ok for us so far. Have ordered some pre-seed too so hopefully that will help 🤞🏼

@Lorddenning1 Oh my goodness that is amazing! Congratulations and I pray everything goes well for you. Maybe implantation happened the day or so after your blood test, it can happen! ✨

@MrsHousePlant @muffin1996 Thank you both! So hard not to try to symptom spot. I was convinced I was out, but now this morning feel a bit achy and have more CM than usual I’m wondering again…!
You’re right - no symptoms and not getting a positive until later are all totally normal too.
why is it a holiday flies by but the TWW is forever 😂.

@Riverofhope Is having a more CV than usual a sign?

TWW is so hard. It's like I've forgotten how I used to spend my days before this lol.
I'm just going to focus on work now and hopefully that should take my mind off for a while.
I'm also going to London for a couple of days in tomorrow and I'm going to leave the pregnancy tests behind intentionally. Expecting AF Saturday 😥and then hopefully start of a new cycle

@Lorddenning1 Congratulations! I would do one again tomorrow just to be on the safe side but no doubt about it!

Congratulations @Lorddenning1! 6 days sounds about the right timeframe for that to have increased!

Hi all, just about to start my third cycle (although count it as my 2nd proper one as first one had just come off pill). Ordered the CB ovulation tests this month as was just going off what my Apple Watch told me last month.
Fingers crossed, I'm TTC #1 and I'm 37.

@muffin1996 I’ve seen people say that they noticed they felt more ‘wet’ and changes in CM. Then again first time I conceived I didn’t notice anything until sickness!
I hope it happens soon for you 🙏🏼

@Riverofhope is CM cervical mucus? This is TMI but I am 5DPO and this morning when I got back from walking the dogs, I had so much really thick discharge in my underwear. It was so much I had to change!

i’m not usually a dischargey person

@HashB Yes cervical mucus. I’ve heard people say similar, so maybe it could be a good sign!

Hi all, hope it’s ok to join. Month 9 of ttc number 2. Currently on cd 8 so just patiently waiting on ovulation. Anyone else around the same?

Just got my period and want to cry and cry.

Thanks so much. It's definitely something I'm strongly considering. I'm CD 20 so expecting AF in around a week. When it inevitably turns up that'll probably decide it for me haha. I've seen a few people selling them on FB marketplace which would save some pennies!
